Which one is right for me? Lagree vs. Solidcore as a newbie
Sorry if this question is a bit cliche, but I’m hoping you guys can help me weigh in! Recently, I’ve had the chance to try several classes at a local lagree studio through ClassPass and Solidcore through their 2 week trial. I’m new to both and trying to decide on which one to get a membership at. I also loved the workout equally for both, despite the vibes being completely different.
Lagree studio pros:
- More spacious, I like that there’s more distance between people
- Megaformers are way more comfortable than the Solidcore reformers, easier to change springs, feel more cushioned and easier on the wrists
- Slower transitions, feels safer than Solidcore
- Smaller class sizes, usually less than half that of Solidcore’s
Lagree studio cons:
- Didn’t receive any hands on adjustments from instructors, despite me being new and struggling with form.
- Weirdly flimsy stability pole. Unsure if that’s standard.
- Far less class times offered, not many evening or weekend classes
- Studio is further away than Solidcore
- $100 more per month than Solidcore
Solidcore would honestly be more convenient just based on location and class times, but I’m worried about safety and not injuring myself in the long run. Some of the moves cued in Solidcore are kinda crazy tbh.
At the same time, I was very disappointed that the lagree instructors didn’t correct my form at all, whereas the Solidcore coaches have done lots of hands on corrections.. Not sure which one to pick!
